almost as annoying as the "32nd overall is basically a 2nd round pick" narrative


the only difference is a 5th year option

And in this league that is a huge difference.

Draft picks in rounds 2-7 get 4 year deals, which means they don't become RFAs at the end of their rookie deals. You either sign them long term (assuming they want to stay) or tag them if you want to keep them.

Getting a 5th year at a discount out of a player that should be talented is a HUGE boon.
